jasperreports Out of memory after lots of reports

Question

I would avoid an Out of Memory exception in my JasperReport Server. please, help me.

EDIT 29/08/2015 I'm using JasperReport server 6.1 on Ubuntu 14.04, java 8 Same result --- DETAILS BELOW

I wrote a java code to download (store in local files) multiple pdf reports from my instance of JasperReport Server. It works well for about 600 reports, after that it produce an error 500. In the JasperServer log file I see an Out of memory exception.

maybe there is an error in my code? don't think so. Instead I think there is a memory leak in the jasperReport server.

here you can see my java code (class ga.system.jasperserver.ReportExtractor)

    for (ReportParameters aReportParams : listOfReportParameters)
    {
        String filename = "report-"+aReportParams.getParameter1()+ ".PDF";
        jasperreport_url = combineParamsIntoJasperserverUrl(aReportParams);
        URL website = new URL(jasperreport_url);
        ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(website.openStream());
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destPath+"/" +filename);
        fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
        fos.close();
        rbc.close();
    }

here you can see a snippet of the exception I get

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://myjasperserverurl/jasperserver/rest_v2/reports/TestDir/TestReport.pdf?j_username=xxx&j_password=xxx&PARAMETER1=9734&PARAMETER2=0&PARAMETER3=815G21 at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream0(Unknown Source) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source) at java.net.URL.openStream(Unknown Source) at ga.system.jasperserver.ReportExtractor.extract(ReportExtractor.java:102) ... ... ...

Here you can see the log in JasperReport Server (catalina.out snippet)

feel free to ask for details you need! Please help Thanks

Answer 1

Ultimately this turned out to be a corrupt .jasper file. Regenerating the jasper file for the main report and all subreports fixed the issue for me.

Answer 2

I am having the exact same problem. Lots of fast running, small reports eventually wipe out memory. Eclipse MAT says that shortest path to GC Root is:

Answer 3

Memory management is a common problem with Jasper. You want to use a Jasper Virtualizer to cut down on the heap load.
